and i'm glad harry reid finally said there will be a vote on assault weapons ban because everybody has to decide whether they're more afraid of the nra or more afraid of michael bloomberg. if i were in the senate, i would be more afraid of bloomberg. >> do you have any sense of where this is in the house at all? do you feel like there's a chance that if the senate passes something, the house will actually maintaining some action on this as well? >> i absolutely can't imagine a scenario in which the house refuses to vote on the senate-passed bill. i just can't imagine it. i may be proven very wrong but i think the pressure at that point for a vote would be enormous. >> bill: you mentioned the gun registry congressman. i wanted to come back to that. because senator tom coburn in the senate was working with chuck schumer. it looked like they were going to be like the gang of eight on immigration reform. come up with a bipartisan plan. and then coburn pulled out because he said background checks lead to a national gun registry. if you're checking them, will you keep that information in eff

while in the senate harry reid and patty murray are considering a budget that never balances. it increases taxes by $1 trillion and let's medicare and social security race towards bankruptcy. and it turns medicare into a program that rations benefits to seniors. make no mistake, washington is approaching $17 trillion of debt and more than 12 million americans are unable to find work. the decisions we make will either sink us deeper into debt or put us on a path that encourages job creation and restores the belief that if we work hard and make tough choices, our kids will inherit a stronger country. mr. speaker, the choice is clear. if hoosier families balanced their budgets, washington doesn't have an excuse. it's time the president and the senate offer real solutions for hardworking hoosier families. i commend chairman ryan and the house budget committee for their hard work and i urge my colleagues to support the resolution. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from maryland. mr. van hollen: thank you, mr. chairman. i now yield two minutes

over on the senate side, it is controlled by democrats, and harry reid is not going to move anything forward. but senator graham says what he'll do is hold up any nominations and wreak havoc. over on the house side, frank wolf, a republican congressman from the commonwealth of virginia, says he has 60 signatures on a document to install a select committee, which will be great because then the select committee would look into what happened. john bolton, who used to be our ambassador to the united nations, says something is not right here. listen. >> i think the entire way the administration has handled the benghazi affair has been abnormal and i think it's particularly strange that the people who were there when the attack took place were not made available to congress or others interested in finding out what actually happened that day. part of the administration's problem here is that many people think they engaged in a coverup, that they made up the story about the demonstration because they didn't want to reveal that terrorist groups were prevalent in and around benghazi. i think t
